The Difference Between Acceptance and Belief

Self-Love

On the 25th of November, admirers of Younus AlGohar’s spiritual guide, Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi, celebrated Jashan-e-Riaz (Lord Ra Riaz Day), which marks the day the world was first blessed with Lord Ra Riaz’s presence.

It wasn’t easy for the disciples to come to terms with this painful event. Most of them were not spiritually groomed enough to sense the implications of the occultation.

Those who had developed a firm belief in the Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi and loved the Lord were potentially easy to be groomed into devout disciples.

When according to the Holy Quran, Jesus Christ was ascended by God towards Him, people who were at the scene were not given to witness the ascension of Jesus; rather they saw a look-alike of Jesus on the cross. They assumed it was Jesus who died on the cross.

A look-alike of Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi was found in the room after the Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi adopted occultation. A majority of the followers failed to comprehend this divine phenomenon. As a result of this, the look-alike body was buried and a shrine was erected.

Only if the disciples truly believed in the Lord and His advice, they would have sailed through the test. The Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi had indicated on various occasions that He would adopt occultation at one point in time but advised the disciples not to jump to wrong conclusions. The Lord promised that He would break occultation and return soon to lead humanity to an unprecedented glory and spiritual triumph over evil.

In order to boost self-esteem of disciples and strengthen their faith, secrets of the Unseen World were presented and translated into belief. The secrets and origin of God were revealed and shared with common folks.

Messiah/Mehdi Foundation was formed to promulgate the miraculous doctrine of Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi. Thousands of people were attracted to the teachings of the Lord. Many of these people embraced these secrets and became practitioners of divine love. Many of them still remain to be steadfast and some of them failed to grow in belief and trust.

The Prophet Mohammad said, ‘When somebody sins, the angels record the sin in the book of deeds and at the same time, places a black spot on the heart. With abundance of sins, one day the heart turns all dark. At this stage, no advice is effective on the sinner.’

The companions of Prophet Mohammad asked, ‘What should be done at this stage to remove darkness from the heart?’

He replied, ‘There is a means of cleansing for everything; whereas for the heart, it is Dhikr Allah (Invocation of God’s Name).’

On the 25th of November, Jashan-e-Riaz (Day of Lord Ra Riaz) will be celebrated around the world! This day marks the advent of His Divine Eminence Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi, the spiritual guide of Younus AlGohar. It is a truly auspicious date in human history!

Congratulations to admirers of HDE Gohar Shahi on this beautiful occasion! During this special celebration, humanity is invited to experience the limitless bounty and benevolence of HDE Gohar Shahi.

May the blessings of this momentous day fall upon you, and may you be brought ever closer to the Lord!

It has been evident that God set strange and peculiar standards of love. Calamity, trouble, deprivation and self-denial were elements of love. People opted to adopt rituals of the religions rather than going through self-discipline and purgation. The Standards of Love set by God were so high that people did not feel encouraged to go for it. God’s love has never gained popularity among religious people.

On 10th of Muharram around 1400 years ago, the beloved grandson of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), Hussain Ibn Ali, was martyred in Karbala, Iraq.

What happened then was utterly brutal and barbaric. And those who carried out the atrocity were so-called Muslims who recited the same Kalima (Declaration of Faith).

I salute Imam Hussain for his utter bravery and unshakeable trust in the Prophet Mohammad.

It’s a pity that Islam, since it’s beginning, has witnessed bloodshed, disobedience and hunger for power in some of its followers.

The reason why those Muslims killed the holy Household of the Prophet Mohammad is not a secret. Clerics all over the Muslim world orate it profusely during this time of the year, however, why they failed to respect the fact that [those so-called Muslims] were blasphemous to the Household of the Prophet Mohammad is the darkness of their heart and [lack of] purification of the Ego.

Any Muslim without the inner purification and enlightenment of the heart has the potential of becoming Yazid bin Muawiyya and Shimr Laeen.

I think the Muslims had better incline to inner purification and enlightenment of the heart.

What some Muslims do today in the name of celebration of the sorrow of the martyrdom in Karbala doesn’t make sense and it doesn’t make them better Muslims either.

Beating oneself will not help one make Imam Hussain happy. What will make Imam Hussain happy is the acquisition of inner purification and enlightenment of the heart.
